These are great when your skin needs a hydro-boost, mostly you'll find Hyaluronic and a few other lightweight ingredients including antioxidants, in the ingredients. Gel masks work really well for dry and sensitive skin, help skin to cool down, rehydrate and look firm.  Rubber Masks Another K-Beauty trend after the sheet masks, these are not actually made out of rubber but an ingredient called alginate.

Cleanse it right – 5 types of cleansers and how to choose the right one

  Cleansing is the first and most important step in our skincare routine, yet we underestimate the basic rule – “one cleanser won’t fit all” and that actually makes sense.  When there’s so much to choose from, everything seems interesting to try out but sometimes what’s not meant for you can disturb your skin barrier and that will take months to get balanced again.

SPF indicates the protection grade from UVB rays and PA indicates the protection grade from UVA rays. The higher the SPF, better and more effective it is.

It is advised to reapply your sunscreen every two to four hours.  PA has ratings, the ‘+’ indic...
